Here are Zoom events I thought might be of particular interest to parents,
teens, and even younger kids.

Here are the Zoom events I think might be of particular interest to parents,
teens, and kids in the coming Week.

There were a couple of other events this afternoon that looked interesting,
but since we wouldn't have much time to advertise I left them off this list.
This is a much longer list than I was anticipating!
